West Oak

Accomplished chef Tim Cuff (Nita Lake Lodge, West) oversees this Yaletown spot with a forgettable name and a menu that tries to cover a lot of bases (steaks, pasta, fish). In the hands of a lesser chef it could be Meh-ville, but the dishes that emerge from the open kitchen are well-executed, albeit not overly ambitious. That theme continues throughout the operation: the décor is nice, if expected the wine list broad, if pricey. It’s a restaurant that appears to be after a fun, wealthy, blingy vibe, and it succeeds in this goalÑso much so that Jimmy Kimmel reportedly had his stag party here.
